Dealt to Hero K♥ A♠

Hero raises to $3.50, UTG raises to $12, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $24, UTG raises to $121 (AI), Hero calls $76 (AI)

FLOP ($201) 2♦ J♣ 5♥

TURN ($201) 2♦ J♣ 5♥ 2♠

RIVER ($201) 2♦ J♣ 5♥ 2♠ 9♦

villain is 24/22 after 178 hands, 3b 9.
I played this hand more or less as I would if I were on the button (i.e. 4betting to around 25bb then calling the shove), but I wonder if, given my position and villain's position, the range I am up against if we get it in is likely to have me pretty crushed. so I am wondering if I can make an exception to my general rule not to fold AK pre in 6 max games or whether I'm just being results orientated?

what are your stats UTG ? If less than 14% he usulaly not 3bet Bluff a lot.
your fold to 3bet?
have you 4bet/fold before this hand?


I think it mainly depends on your image and your history. If there weren't any aggo. history and you have a tight image, I don't expect him to mess with your utg open/4bet with less then AK+,QQ+ so u can call it a tight fold.

As for the hand, I would also consider folding.
As the previous posters said it depends on your image and history with the guy, but without any history a fold is definitely ok.
